Productivity Applications 8/15 - Forklifts and Reachtrucks

Sensata’s joysticks and fingertip solutions provide the accuracy, safety and durability required for forklifts, as well as the mechanical strength.

Lift trucks are commonly used to move equipment in warehouses, requiring very accurate and ergonomic operator control systems. Moving materials high in the air demands high resolution and reliable control systems designed for the application. High mechanical strength, flexibility and a unique sensing design help performance under rigorous conditions; many components are involved to control it in the perfect way.

Sensata can help the fork truck operator work more efficiently by using single and dual axis ergonomic joysticks, switch rockers and analog rockers for operational control of lift trucks, draw wire encoders and angle sensors to monitor the fork height and pressure sensors to control the hydraulic circuits and brakes.
